Biography

I was born Aug 12, 1961 in Boston, Ma, USA. My biological parents were not married. My biological dad is Albert Clinton Howland and my biological mother is Hope Ann Murphy. who names me Wanda Frances Murpy. Mother did not give my father's last name. I was a premee, 1 to 2 pounds therefor, was in an incubator, from there went to foster care for about 1 to 2 years old then was adopted by James Frances Trainor and Anna Sloan. My name was changed to Patricia Ann Trainor. I was brought up at 57 Hillshire Lane, Norwood, Ma 02062. I have 3 adoptive siblings - one brother and two sisters. I had a great upbringing. My adoptive parents have since long passed. Around 2014, I decided to try and find my bioparents. While I found them, I have not met my bio mom, and I met briefly my bio dad-but did not work out as I hoped. I did find out that on my bio dad's side that I have a direct male connection to my 10th great grandparent John Howland -Mayflower Passenger and also off my bio dad's an Indian connection through Sally Harris. Nothing special has happened in my lifetime-I love skateboarding, bowling, softball, crafting, watching movies and tv., computers. I was married for almost five years to Thomas Edward Collette Jr and had a Jessica Lee and a Matthew Paul from Thomas. Ten years later I had a Zackary Scott from Eddie Joe Moreland Jr. So far only one grandchild Weston Li Thibeault through my daughter Jessica, his father is called Julian. I found out that I have a half-brother, half-sister, two stepsisters on my bio mom's side and half-brother, half-sister from my bio dad's first marriage then me and his second current wife had two half-brothers then twin's half-brother and half-sister. I currently have a couple of roadblocks off my bio mom's side 1st roadblock is my bio mom's dad James Otis Murphy who was abandoned as a child and took the name Murphy when the family who raised him adopted him so he could have a surname when married--have not found any DNA connections. 2nd roadblock is off my bio mom's brother "William Murphy" and his family so that I can find living relatives. pm me if you want more information in helping me find these connections.
